August calls for sunshine, sea breezes and adventure. Our top destinations in Spain include:
- Costa Brava's hidden coves: Base yourself in Tossa de Mar or Calella de Palafrugell to enjoy picturesque beaches, seafood feasts and a more relaxed atmosphere than on the bustling Costa del Sol.
- Asturias and Cantabria: Swap the heat for lush green landscapes, charming fishing villages and wild Atlantic beaches. Perfect for hikers and surfers!
- Menorca: is a less crowded Balearic gem with turquoise waters and unspoilt coves, making it ideal for couples and families alike.
- Granada and the Sierra Nevada: enjoy morning hikes in the cooler mountain air, followed by tapas-filled evenings in the city's old quarter.
- Cádiz: blends adventure and tradition, from Tarifa’s kite-surfing mecca to Vejer de la Frontera’s whitewashed charm.
